>It's always is the eyes....you will know the level of crazy youre working with.

I don't think this is the population for you. I find referring to our clients as "crazy" to be wildly unprofessional.

It's also important to understand that very few individuals who have active psychosis are violent. Folks with a diagnosed mental illness are actually less likely to commit crime than the general population, and folks who have a severe mental disorder are far more likely to be the victim of a violent crime than they are to perpetrate one. Someone "hearing information in sound waves" is absolutely no threat to your personal safety.

Frankly I do not think that you can help someone who has delusions while being fearful of them and calling them crazy. I have worked with SMI, done home visits, and worked crisis intervention in home with folks with SMI-- I say this because I know the risks. I also know how vulnerable and undeserved the population is.

When I was a baby caseworker I had a client tell me she was lonely. She had previously attached a healthcare worker, and was large in stature, so people were afraid of her. She looked me in the eyes and with the vocabulary of a fifth grader told me that "People don't like me, they are afraid of me." It absolutely broke my heart. No one deserves to walk around feeling like they are a monster, as social workers we need to make sure that we aren't part of the problem.

Now for some concrete safety tips

• Don't show up to house visits unannounced. Set appointments or call ahead of time.
  
• Don't enter the home if there are unexpected guests and/or people you do not know there. Only enter the home when it is the exact folks you expected to visit.
  
• Try to position yourself in such a way that there is no one between you and the door (pick the seat closest to the door, stand with your back to the door, etc)
  
• Always make sure there is an accessible log with your supervisor/ employer that lists where you are headed for the day and what time you will be returning
  
• Carry your cell phone, charged, at all times. I have an apple watch expressly for the purpose that if I hold down the side button long enough, it calls 911 and texts my emergency contacts my gps location.
  
• Look into carrying a sound grenade/ SOS alarm like this and wear it so it's accessible. They are not harmful and just create a really loud alarm noise.
  
• If meeting with a violent offender, ask for a correctional officer to wait outside the door and/or visit with someone else from the agency if you feel the risk justifies it.

More seriously, in the military you can find exercises grenades. Pretty much like blank ammunition, just a bit more powerful. That's almost the same thing, but would only imitate the sound a grenade makes.
And in the end, we're talking about PUBG here. Never saw 100 guys jumping off a plane to shoot at each other for fun IRL.
